Please vote in support of the ferry boat
overhaul funding. The Southeast Expressway
cannot absorb any extra cars. Parking and taking the ferry is the best solution. Thank
you.

Re: Amendment Five
Support for the MBTA ferries from Hull is critical for the
working people of
Hull, it is the quickest best run commuting
option and a worthy investment. Continued
investment in this critical service is also essential to management of highway congestion. The commuter rail is not always
an option bc lots get
full and there are no parking options.

As a Hull resident, the mbta
ferry service is crucial to our way of life. It is the fastest and most efficient way to go to work, schools, doctors, and
cultural events in Boston. It helps to
significantly cut down on vehicular traffic
which the expressway cannot handle as well as parking in town. We encourage the pursuit of Amendment 5. Thank you.

Please continue to support and improve the commuter
Ferry service to and from Boston.
This service is well used, in particular by members of the south shore communities of Hull and Hingham. This
service is one piece in reducing the
traffic into and out of the city and offers commuters a reliable and quite lovely option for commuting in and out of the
city. Please continue to also look
into expanded service. Expanded services are certainly warranted to and from the Hull, MA area for typical commuting
hours, but expanded weekend service
should also be considered.

Commuter ferry. The people in Hull depend on
this ferry for work and recreation. The
current schedule is impossible it’s very limited which I understand but if it disappears not only will it put a
lot More people on the road or parking in
the Hingham commuter lot but it’s a huge inconvenience for people who live in Hull who are inconvenienced
most of the time

As a member of the state's Metropolitan Beach Commission,
representing the Town of Hull, I would
like to support Amendment 5 to the TIP: the mid-life overhaul of Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority
(MBTA) ferry vessels.
The MBTA ferry vessels are a vital asset to the
Boston metropolitan region - for economic
development, for tourism, and, most importantly, for the day-to-day lives of commuting residents. It is
crucial that the vessels remain in good
shape in order to maintain good service and active ridership.
Thank you for considering,
Jason

Please approve Amendment 5 and do all possible
to improve and maintain ferry service
across the harbor to local areas in and out of Boston. Living in Hull the ferry is critical to the community and is the
most efficient, reliable, convenient mode
of transportation to both Boston and Logan airport.
Service should be extended to include more
times/boats not only weekday but also
particularly for weekend service into Boston. I recognize that during
this time of Covid it
may seem practical to shift investment elsewhere, but I would caution against that given the remoteness of
this community and its dependence on
ferry for commuter service for many essential workers.

I write in strong support of the addition
of the new project to FFY 2020 for the
mid-life overhaul of MBTA ferry vessels. The ferry service is essential to south shore residents and long term
health of the vessels is important for
continued service.

Hull needs more funding for commuter boat series to Boston. Current
service only allows a few scheduled stops at peak commuting hours. We need more
stops through out the day and more boats directly
from Hull to and from Boston. Shared services with Hingham leaves no room for
Hull commuters. Needs additional parking structure to support more commuters. Weekend service too through
out the year would increase revenue for town as well as Boston. The commuter
boat is the only service that allows safe quick access to Boston and back.
